Description
Discover the Imlili Oasis Porto Rico Tour, a full-day 4×4 adventure from Dakhla combining desert landscapes, natural pools and the wild Atlantic coastline. Travel away from the city and experience two distinctive sides of the Dakhla region: the peaceful desert around Imlili and the beautiful coast of Porto Rico Beach.
The journey begins with hotel pickup in Dakhla before heading south by 4×4 through open desert landscapes. Along the way, enjoy panoramic views and photo stops while your local guide introduces you to the natural environment and culture of the region.
Discover Imlili Oasis
One of the main highlights of the excursion is Imlili Oasis, a remarkable desert location known for its natural pools. Surrounded by an arid landscape, the pools create an unusual contrast with the desert terrain.
Take time to walk around the area, enjoy the scenery and photograph one of the most distinctive landscapes near Dakhla. Your guide will accompany you throughout the visit and help you discover the characteristics of this unique desert environment.
Explore Porto Rico Beach
After Imlili, continue the 4×4 journey toward Porto Rico Beach, one of the beautiful Atlantic coastal areas south of Dakhla.
Here, the scenery changes from desert plains to an open coastline with sand, rocks and Atlantic Ocean views. Enjoy time to relax, walk along the beach and take photos before continuing the adventure.

A 10/10 desert adventure. If you are into photography or just love vast, open nature, you have to do this trip. The transition from the dry desert dunes to the wetland pockets of Imlili is amazing to witness. Getting a natural ‘fish spa’ in the middle of nowhere was a fun surprise! The team at Dakhlaway organized everything perfectly, and finishing the day at the gorgeous Porto Rico beach made for a perfectly balanced itinerary.

This excursion exceeded all our expectations. Our driver was fantastic, navigating the desert tracks with ease and sharing great stories about the region. The stop at Imlili is fascinating; it’s such a unique geological phenomenon. But my absolute favorite part was Porto Rico. The history of the old Spanish outpost right on that stunning, untouched white sand beach makes it feel incredibly exclusive. Great value for a full-day adventure.

An incredible contrast of landscapes all in one day! The 4×4 drive out to the Imlili Oasis feels like you are on another planet. Finding these small saltwater pools in the middle of the arid desert—complete with those little fish that tickle your feet—was so surreal. Afterward, relaxing at Porto Rico beach was the perfect way to wind down. The water there is crystal clear. Highly recommend this tour if you want to see the wilder side of Dakhla
